This sounds like more than two people with a simple working relationship.

Breitbart quoted former assistant FBI director Robert Kallstrom as saying they are “best friends”.

David Kelley, Comey’s attorney, said the idea that Comey is “best friends” with Mueller is an overstatement. He said the two have a genial relationship as former colleagues — both men have long legal careers that involve overlapping time spent working within the Department of Justice. He claims it doesn’t rise to the level of recusal.

Breitbart also cited a piece written by journalist Garrett Graff in Politico magazine, in which Graff describes the pair’s working relationship:

While Mueller technically reported to Comey as deputy attorney general, Comey, two decades his junior, treated Mueller as a close friend and almost mentor. The men had known each other for years as each rose into the small, elite fraternity of prosecutors at the top of the Justice Department.

Snopes finds they just have a casual work relationship.

The best way to deal with this, to be on the safe side, is for Mueller to resign.

What is really concerning is that only two Republicans have demanded Mueller step down. Democrats made loud, crazed demands that Sessions stepped down. We don’t see that in the Republican Party.

Fifteen other Republicans in the House Judiciary Committee have sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy FBI director Rod Rosenstien insisting a second special counsel be appointed to investigate Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and Loretta Lynch. Others have added Barack Obama and Susan Rice to that list.

Certainly many of these Republicans view Trump as toxic and That is the reason for all the hysteria. Their unmistakable fear of the future is, without doubt, baseless. They remain under the misconception that if only they succumb to the wishes of the media, Or Democrats, they will survive a future election and the next Republican President will not suffer the ills Trump has endured.

What these spineless Republicans do NOT realize is This is the opening salvo. Trump has the character and personality to withstand the daily bombardment, with silence by his “friends”. If by some chance Trump would be removed from office the attacks would simply be transferred to Pence, and he doesn’t have the qualities to withstand and would be completely ineffectual.

This is the danger ALL of the “Republicans” fail to realize. By “allowing” the bombardment to continue without ANY response, not only leaves the Administration vulnerable, but endangers future prospects for Republicans. If they believe this is an isolated case they should think twice. Any further Republican campaigns will be met with even more visceral attacks in the future. And you can be assured the media will play along.

The Democrats will do anything to stop Trump and if they succeed they will do anything to stop any other conservative interference in the future. The Democrats, like ISIS cannot bring the majority of people to agree with their ideas, so they choose to kill anyone that disagrees with them instead. While the Democrats may be less literal than ISIS in killing those that oppose, the result is control by force, not agreement.
